Monday 09 December 2013: got an Ebay order, well 2 orders same seller. It was a bit late, but the seller had explained they had been computer-less for several weeks. I am glad it finally came. Shipping was FREE. The final item from my big "Free Shipping Spree" a few weeks back.

EDIT:Oh I forgot to mention the other package was a larger flat rate envelope that held a card box from my sportlots auction order of 300+ (about 333) 1980 Topps Baseball cards, mostly commons a few stars mixed in and a few dupes obviously.

Also got a very very nice looking ACEO (Art Cards Editions and Originals) sketch card from artist Javier Gonzalez at Blackhilt Studios it is a color portrait of Joanne Kelly as Myka Bering from Warehouse 13. I actually sniped this card in the last minute before the auction ended. The bidding was at $15.50 with 5 or 6 bids for a day or two up til the final day. I had "watched" the auction since I first saw it either the day it started or shortly after, then as the auction end time got closer I checked it periodically for any increase and then returned a few minutes before it was scheduled to end. For about 40 seconds I was worried my bid wouldn't be the winner due to other snipers, the ones that use automatic programs so they don't have to actually be watching the auction like I was. I only do that when I absolutely really really want a card or other item. Usually I just bid the final day. Anyway I was afraid that my maximum of $35 would not be enough, but I won the card for $21.50 my final bid was the 7th bid. Shipping was free at first I think it was $3.50 shipping but maybe after the bidding reached a certain price it switched to free? I am soooooooooooo glad I won this one.

On Monday 18 November 2013: I got an ebay purchase that I'm a little disappointed in, I was expecting more but realize it was described as what it is. Sigh I paid $9.99 for it (Free shipping) it was the Price Guide part of the Non Sport Update Vol 20 No. 2 with Doctor Who on the cover. I thought I was getting the magazine not the price guide part. Oddly the Doctor Who articles were in the magazine which apparently has The Terminator Salvation on its cover but the promo cards were supposedly a Star Trek card and a James Bond Archives card. I might not had rushed to get this thing, I had been watching it for a couple of weeks I should have noticed then. In 20/20 hindsight I would only have paid no more than $5 bucks for it. OH Well.

Now I also got some cards:Also from Ebay 1968 Topps Baseball 341 Jim Lemon MGR Senators

Finally I got a package from a group box break at TCZ Pwolantern's (Ken) Bi-Monthly Baseball Break. My teams were my standard Nationals and Orioles. Here is the Booty:

And since I didn't get a "HIT" from the Nationals or Orioles I was given a card from a unclaimed team that had been randomized to the break host but he gave it to me2013 Bowman Inception: Prospect Autograph PA-CH Courtney Hawkins White Sox blue on-card sharpie

On Saturday 16 November 2013: I got two card packages. The first was an Ebay order that had FREE Shipping. One seller two cards:1952 Topps Baseball 212 Ned Garver Browns $9.751966 Topps Baseball 90 Luis Aparicio Orioles $1.25

I also got a package of some cards from a Group Box Break held by Andrew of the Andrews Baseball Cards Blog. He was breaking a Jumbo box of 2013 Topps Baseball Update Series For 10 bucks a chosen team and one random team. My Nationals and My O's were already taken when I found out about the break and the Rangers were also taken I decided to go with the Twins for my chosen team and got the Diamondbacks as my random team. I needed the base cards anyway I guess if I'm going to go for an update set. Here is my booty from the break:

NON-SPORTS:I also got the latest issue of the Non-Sports "The Wrapper" Magazine #279 Nov 15. 2013 - January 1, 2014 (I've got to reorder this was my "last" issue) the cover feature set is Davy Crockett.

On Thursday 14 November 2013: I got a sportlots order a set of 22 cards. 1987 Topps Baseball Glossy All-Star Set 1- 22. Got it for only 25¢ +$3.50 shipping. These cards were packed in the rack-packs only during the mid 1980s. I know I already had/have some of these cards and at one time I thought I had all of them as well as the AS sets from the previous year and the following year, but I guess not. The seller who I have ordered from at least once before included as the cardboard sandwich two 3 piece cards for the 1990 Donruss: Diamond King Carl Yastrzemski Puzzle #19, 20, 21 card and 22, 23, 24 card
